Career

Boneau played both high school and club soccer during his youth years. As a freshman, Boneau played high school soccer for Keller High School, but suffered a hip fracture in a preseason game, sidelining him for the remainder of the season.[1] During his sophomore year, Boneau played with Solar FC in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy where his team won the U17 DA National Championships. He played for Solar's U19DA team for his junior year, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the USDA season was canceled, allowing him the opportunity to return to high school soccer.[2]

During his senior year, Boneau had a breakout year, scoring 18 goals and 19 assists in 21 matches, and helped lead Keller High School to the Conference 6A Region 1 tournament semifinals, a record for the Keller boys' soccer program. Keller finished the season with a 17–3–0 record. Boneau was named First Team All-State and was the Dallas Morning News Offensive Player of the Year. At the end of the season, Boneau won the Gatorade National Boys' Soccer Player of the Year award.[3]

Boneau signed a National Letter of Intent to play college soccer for Notre Dame.[4] He missed out on his freshman year due to an injury. On August 25, 2022, Boneau made his collegiate debut, starting and playing 78 minutes in a 1–3 loss to Seattle University. [5] On August 29, 2022 Boneau dished out his first two collegiate assists in a 3–2 away win at Michigan State University.[6] For the 2022 season he started all 17 games for the Fighting Irish.
